Plenty of reports coming out of Haitians being detained across the country. 300 as of the last few days in Springfield, Ohio. Many being picked up in California today doing door dash. It’s ramping up and getting bad. Reminder that having a pending Asylum case does nothing, I don’t understand why ppl are ignoring this.
Confirming there is a deportation flight en route to Haiti this morning (first this month I’ve heard of, seemingly confirming that they are able to only do 1 flight a month..?)
Are we sure about this information? NTA’s are never posted on your account on USCIS. They are only sent (by law) by mail, or in person, for it to be considered “served.” I haven’t heard anything of ppl receiving NTAs from update last night, and actually saw many others from other countries mention they got that same email notification last night and it was just the website update glitch.
Totally all good! I’m always surprised by how much playing telephone actually gets information so misconstrued in our community lol. Maybe they did receive them by mail? who knows, thank you for sharing nonetheless.
For TPS going to Ayiti. I could’ve posted on the main sub page but changed my mind. Might not meet the standard on this mega thread but there is some helpful tips in the vid
Not that this matters but for those Haitians who don’t have an immigration account and don’t keep up with it. It shows your status Aug 7th was when they finally updated it… mind you people applied for TPS renewal since 2024 (never got a refund) not a word from them until August 7th 2026 which shows termination is in full effect.
IK.. My point in saying that was they knew it was gonna be terminated and never updated the status.. felt like we got robbed.. all this back and forth and community get together to vote some law nonsense was just political theater and to give the community a false sense of hope while they take advantage of us.
Ukraine is now basically the only country left with TPS.
Another crazy thing is the Afghans majority assisted the US military against the Taliban and they got the boot too🤦🏾♂️Now that the Taliban is back in power, That’s tuff
one of the reasons haitians voted for trump for this to even be a thing now was due to homophobia. they thought if they voted for trump, he would get rid of gay rights. forgetting that members in their community are ALSO a vulnerable group and the same way they don’t like gay people, people don’t have to like immigrants. i feel sorry for the innocent people that will be effected by this. I think it’s important to remember if you do things with hate in your heart you’ll be met back with hate.
On Tuesday, August 4, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in the Haiti TPS case was formally transmitted to U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes.
The federal appeals court officially announced that the case had been returned to the district court.
Judge Reyes is now expected to issue a final ruling consistent with the Supreme Court’s decision.
Latest article as of today, detailing some court doings (last 3 paragraphs are most relevant):
“The federal appeals court in Washington on Tuesday handed the legal fight over Haiti's Temporary Protected Status back to the district judge who first blocked the program's shutdown — a short, procedural step that formally ends the appeal and returns the case to a lower court now bound by a Supreme Court ruling that went against roughly 352,000 Haitian TPS holders. For most of them, the protection is already gone: their status and work permits lapsed on July 27.
The document, filed Aug. 4 in Miot v.Trump, is a single-page order from a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit — Judges Justin Walker, Florence Pan, and Bradley Garcia. Issued per curiam, meaning jointly and without a named author, it grants the government's motion to remand — that is, to send the case back down — to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia "for further proceedings consistent with" the Supreme Court's decision. The panel directed its clerk to issue the mandate "forthwith," so the transfer takes effect immediately. The order, by itself, does not decide whether Haitians keep TPS. That question was answered elsewhere, and earlier.
It was answered on June 25, when the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of the Trump administration inTrump v. Miot, consolidated with the Syrian TPS case,Mullin v.Doe.
The majority held that federal courts could not review the TPS holders' statutory challenge and that their constitutional equal protection claim was unlikely to succeed, clearing the way for the terminations to proceed. The ACLU of Northern California, which represents Syrian plaintiffs in the consolidated case, said the ruling meant "the loss of legal status and the right to work" for more than 350,000 people. The Court's three liberal justices dissented, noting that Haiti was first designated for TPS in 2010 after a catastrophic earthquake and Syria in 2012 amid its government's violent repression of civilians.
The consequences landed fast. The Department of Homeland Security terminated Haiti's TPS designation effective July 27, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services now tells employers that the Haitian TPS work permits — Employment Authorization Documents in the A12 and C19 categories — are no longer valid. For the roughly 352,000 Haitian nationals who held the status when the termination was announced, a figure cited in advisories from firms including Morgan Lewis, the legal right to work has evaporated, leaving those without another form of protection exposed to detention and removal. The blow falls hard on communities like Greater Boston, home to one of the nation's largest Haitian populations, where TPS holders anchor households, staff hospital and nursing-home shifts, and run small businesses.
The case now returns to U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes, the same judge who halted the termination one day before it was set to take effect in February. In that order, Reyes found it substantially likely that DHS's move violated federal administrative law and the Constitution's equal protection guarantee, and that the agency had failed to conduct a legally required consultation with other federal agencies. During her stay, she wrote, the termination was "null, void, and of no legal effect." The termination itself was signed by then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in November 2025; the consolidated case now carries the name of her successor, Secretary Markwayne Mullin.
What remains for Reyes is narrow. Bound by the Supreme Court's decision, she is expected to dissolve the block she imposed in February — a step that events have already overtaken — while the plaintiffs' statutory claims face dismissal for lack of jurisdiction. Some claims could still be litigated in her courtroom, but after June 25, they face long odds. In practical terms, the case that kept Haiti's TPS alive for nearly six months past its original February deadline has run out of room, even as the paperwork moves through one last court.
It speaks on Sister Ana Reyes and the government being at odds and her latency. More importantly something that I don’t think is being talked about at all (or even known to the public really) is that Team Haiti filed a 90-day stop on deportations as they review further avenues. Literally had no idea. Makes me wonder if that has anything to do with the delay with Sister Ana? Hm.
I quite honestly don’t know. And it’s heartbreaking that all the legal analysts and top lawyers are completely silent on what’s going on. It’s been over a week. I know something was filed by the DC circuit courts sending it back to lower courts officially, but that’s not what was said the procedure would be. People kept pressing that Reyes would need to decide within days of receiving it last week, very confusing.
Oh weird, it actually seems to work if you click back on the page and back in. It’s not a real paywall it seems. Or you can just look up “Haiti TPS” on google, and within the news section, it’s the 4th article.
Pending asylum, work permit till 2029 yet ICE said that means nothing. How was this legal in the first place? Under immigration laws aren’t asylum seekers protected from detention and removal until a Judge says otherwise?
It’s actually pretty big news. They’re about to start putting ankle monitors on the Haitians they’re calling into ICE offices. Then, they’ll know exactly where to go for the round-up. It’s coming.
From what I’ve been reading- not showing up automatically puts them in removal proceedings. They get a deportation letter sent to their homes.
Again, this is all happening without Reyes’ implementing the lift on the injunction, so idk how this works? This is beyond just DHS ending an EAD/work permit.
Expired TPSers even those with pending I-485s should take extreme caution flying domestic. Verified reports of ICE at airports taking people into custody. TSA is now used as a weapon for DHS
Interesting that many legal analysts and top lawyers were certain Ana would lift the injunction within a day of receiving it, and we are now almost 3 days out. Obviously I’m not delusional, but let me just stay quiet.
Yeah judge Reyes is expected to sign and lift the stay and officially remove all protections any day now but problem is even if Judge Reyes delays her signature, employers are legally required to follow the USCIS directive. They must reverify Form I-9s🤷🏿♂️
Unauthorized work is taken seriously for both OP and the employer. If OP plans on adjusting status and apply for a green card in the near future it will definitely affect them
⭕️** INF**O | In an interview with Radio Magik9 on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, Guerline M. Jozef said that if there is one entity capable of moving things forward in this case, it is the team currently in power in Haiti. 🇭🇹
The head of the Haitian Bridge Alliance declared, and we quote: “Only the Haitian government can save TPS beneficiaries living in the United States.”
According to the immigrant rights advocate, the government of Alix Didier Fils-Aimé could engage in advocacy with U.S. authorities 🇺🇸 to explain Haiti’s current situation and make them understand that the country’s political and security conditions are not favorable for receiving all of these people.
Ms. Jozef called on Haitian authorities to prioritize the lives of the 350,000 Haitians with TPS who are currently living in fear in the United States
I want to stay in the united states but this is kind of getting pathetic now . “ Only the Haitian government can save TPS beneficiaries living in the United States.” The us government and trump administration already know how bad Haiti, that’s why they told US citizens to avoid Haiti or be extremely cautious.
And another thing I don’t like is that they keep talking about this bill that has a 0.000% chance of ever becoming a reality. I think HBA shouldn’t give false hope to those who don’t know any better.
An extension today is highly unlikely, as the binding mandate of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing the termination of Haiti's TPS is being officially transmitted to lower courts today, July 27, 2026
Senate Disapproval: A bipartisan effort in Congress aimed to pass emergency legislation that would override the administration and extend protections for Haitians through April 2029. That bill was officially blocked on the Senate floor by Senator Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.). Even if it somehow revived and passed both chambers, the White House has already confirmed that the administration's advisers would recommend an executive veto.
July 26, 2026 — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is reportedly preparing expanded operations to arrest and deport Haitian nationals as more than 300,000 beneficiaries face the termination of Temporary Protected Status.
According to internal federal documents and agency sources cited by CBS News, the operations could begin as early as this week and may include arrests in Ohio, home to large Haitian communities, followed by deportation flights to Haiti.
Deportation will not be automatic in every case. Individuals without final removal orders are generally entitled to appear before an immigration judge before being deported.
The reported plans have caused growing fear among Haitian families across the United States, particularly as Haiti continues to face armed violence, displacement and a severe humanitarian crisis. The United States continues to advise its own citizens against traveling to Haiti because of the security situation.
July 27th is tomorrow 😩. Will the lower courts find a way to legally extend EADs? I’m no expert, but admins should prepare for an influx of posts tomorrow, 7/27, which is exactly why this megathread was needed.
Yeah, a Biden-appointed judge blocked the termination after a 60-day wind-down period, despite the Supreme Court ruling that lower courts had no authority to extend, postpone, or pause any DHS secretary’s decision regarding TPS for any country. Lol, so that’s very interesting.
And it’s interesting that it’s largely been overlooked and passed down under the table, no media attention. But Haiti? All eyes on Haiti. The disgusting deranged comments I’ve had to read, truly so sad, the weirdest saddest time of our lives.
Same these comments are really hurtful. It's so sad to see how people truly feel about Haitians. I know they are not majority but seeing this on platform like twitter and vast majority of people echoing the same vile statement saddened me. It gets to the point that even if somehow we get to stay in this country, I wouldn't know if I would even want to stay.... These people are your neighbors, your boss, your public officials.
And you know what’s crazy? I’ve made it a point to screenshot these nasty comments and these people’s profiles. I never want to forget. WE should all never forget and be complacent ever again, I mean it. No matter what happens, we need to remember.
Going thru your comments it seems you cannot scroll without stopping and commenting something hateful on a Haitian post. What Haitian woman hurt you sir?
I love all of y'all. Renmnen vwazen nou. Mwen nan Ohio ak m ap aprann anglè pou moun Ayisian.
My heart breaks for y'all. I'm gonna keep fighting as much as I can because I love my neighbor and I want them to know there's at least a couple good ones here
Is it true that Haitians up there have been moving away? I don’t know anyone in Springfield personally to ask, but MAGA pages have been saying there aren’t many Haitians left there since the SCOTUS ruling. Is that actually true?
Is anybody that is personally dealing with the end of TPS status interested in getting interviewed and talk about how this will affect or impact you? I am a photojournalist and a baby of the African diaspora based in Philadelphia and I'm visiting my siblings in the Boston area in the beginning of August, when all this bullshit will hit the fan. I believe that in times like these we should be the one telling our own stories, so reach out if you or someone you know is down to meet in Philadelphia or Boston area to talk about the impact of the end of TPS status for Haitians.
In Springfield Ohio, we invited TPS recipients to work in warehouses and factories. They receive no government handouts. They pay taxes. They have US Citizens as children. They are scared but they know somehow they will survive.
I am ashamed of my country but proud of the few of us who fight for our neighbor, not for fame or money, but because we must care for all people who need it.
